Samba only provides smbspool and smbspool_krb5_wrapper. Installing it as a 
CUPS backend is done by downstream, e.g. Fedora.

You should discuss it there. However there is probably a historic reason for 
smbspool_krb5_wrapper being in a separate package. Maybe the package could be 
installed by default or as a recommondation.

So open a bug downstream :-)
